Anyway, the problem is that Hizballah is growing stronger by the minute, because no one is setting its limits. It is acting as a state within a state. The government did not remove its right to resist, but it's placing restrictions on its way of operations. The question in itself is flawed because the government also did not mention anything with the weapons, but Hizballah like the Syrians ties everything to its weapons.
The phone lines are apparently part of its weapons, which is an absolutely ridiculous argument, because the phone lines are simply not weapons. If you people actually want a true government to be built, you should know that the restrictions are important to keep it within the law. Hizballah did not ask the government if it could place these lines, which goes beyond its role as a resistance. Furthermore, the threats launched by Hizballah are a simple representation of how they hold the Lebanese state. They want a Lebanese state that is subservient to them and not the other way around. |
actually, WiseCookie, the phone network is part of the weapons.... whether you are with the weapons or not, the network is as important as a rocket...
during the war of 2006, Robert Fisk claimed that HA was able to destroy at the beginning of the war a very important outpost of the Israeli air force. That was responsible for the communication between different IDF groups.
in the same article, Fisk talks about the fact that despite all electronics and advanced equipments, the IDF remained blind to what was the strategy of HA and the whereabouts of different leaders of the resistance...
and he even questionned whether HA itself breached the IDF communications...
